Job description

Why Join EMC?

At EMC, we provide comprehensive electrical and reliability solutions spanning motors, variable frequency drives (VFDs), and power generation systems. With more than 40 years of experience, we've earned a reputation for technical expertise, strong customer partnerships, and dependable performance.

Our culture is grounded in three core values: supporting one another, continuously improving, and achieving results together. If you want your work to directly influence equipment reliability and customer success, EMC offers that opportunity.

We offer a competitive and comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, and vision coverage; life insurance; short- and long-term disability protection; a 401(k) plan with a 3% company match; as well as generous paid time off and holiday leave.

The Opportunity

We are seeking Vibration Analysts (Category II or Category III) to join our expanding reliability team. In these roles, you will help customers prevent equipment failures, extend asset life, and enhance operational performance through condition monitoring and predictive maintenance.

You'll collaborate with maintenance teams, engineers, and operations leaders-both in the field and remotely-across multiple facilities.

Vibration Analyst – ISO Category II

Position Summary

Support predictive maintenance (PdM) and reliability efforts through vibration data collection, analysis, and reporting on rotating equipment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Collect and analyze vibration data using portable and online systems
  • Perform remote monitoring across multiple customer sites
  • Ensure data integrity, sensor performance, and route compliance
  • Interpret FFT spectra, time waveforms, and trends to identify common faults (imbalance, misalignment, looseness, bearing defects)
  • Maintain data collection routes and schedules
  • Set up basic alarm limits and measurement parameters
  • Generate clear reports with actionable maintenance recommendations
  • Assist in managing PdM programs and maintaining database accuracy
  • Communicate findings with maintenance and operations teams

Qualifications

  • ISO 18436-2 Category II certification
  • Solid understanding of vibration fundamentals and rotating equipment
  • Experience with condition monitoring tools and data collectors
  • Basic knowledge of alignment and balancing
  • Ability to interpret vibration data and trends
  • Strong communication and reporting skills

Vibration Analyst – ISO Category III

Position Summary

Lead and enhance predictive maintenance and reliability programs through advanced vibration analysis, remote monitoring, and technical leadership.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead remote monitoring and oversight of vibration assets across sites
  • Manage and optimize PdM programs, including strategy and alarm development
  • Perform advanced analysis (FFT, waveform, phase, orbit, modal, resonance)
  • Diagnose complex issues such as gear faults, resonance, structural, and fluid-related problems
  • Conduct and lead root cause failure analysis (RCFA)
  • Integrate additional technologies (oil analysis, thermography, ultrasound)
  • Establish standards, processes, and best practices
  • Mentor and develop junior analysts
  • Act as the primary technical contact for customers
  • Deliver in-depth technical reports and strategic recommendations

Qualifications

  • ISO 18436-2 Category III certification
  • Advanced knowledge of vibration theory and machinery dynamics
  • Experience with online monitoring systems and analysis software
  • Demonstrated ability to lead and manage PdM programs
  • Strong leadership, communication, and customer-facing skills
